** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, Jan 13 at 0649, RHC English remains undermodulated on both, S9+20, somewhat louder on 6100 and loudest on 6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15139.825, Jan 13 at 1524, RHC seems off-frequency all the time now; also with JBA spurs circa 14968 & 15311 at earlier 1441 check, but not on 14997 & 15283. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But nothing`s wrong on 13 MHz band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 5923, Jan 13 a 1527 narrow-band noise centered here,
rather like DRM, but must be jamming against the JBA carrier on 5920
of V of Freedom, Korea South (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 13 at 0658, no signal from VON. It surely goes and comes unpredictably (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) But:
** NIGERIA [non]. 7335, Jan 13 at 0657, very rapid Hausa talk from S9 R. Nigeria, Kaduna via FRANCE until turnoff at 0700* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 15350, Jan 13 at 1522, tune-in to dead air, then Arabish talk starts, S8-S5. Aoki shows R. Dabanga via Meyerton is supposed to run 1529-1600; must be getting a headstart. HFCC shows FPU from 1530-, 250 kW at 5 degrees after a hefty 25 degree slew. Axually the FPU program feed until 1529 is probably Radio Tamazuj, not supposed to be on 15350 at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 6125.0, Jan 13 at 0421, VP signal from algo, presumably V of Turkey English to N America as scheduled, altho can`t be positive since it`s not on 6125.7 tonight; at least this transmission exist, after hearing nothing at 2300 on 5960. You might assume the 0400 is on a more westerly beam than at 2300 for E NAm, but you would be wrong; per HFCC, both are the same 310 degrees, which crosses USA from NYC to Pensacola --- so beyond that the signal gets worse and worse. WNAm is not even a CIRAF-6 target for either.
BTW, Alan Roe reports: ``The Voice of Turkey "Letterbox Programme" is now being aired weekly on the Saturday programme (rather than Friday), seemingly since beginning of January. Confirmed in yesterday's broadcast (12 January at 1330 UT on 12035 kHz) Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` Or 12035.7v; plus UT Sunday for the 0400 final repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 475 kHz, Jan 13 at 0701, WA4SZE/BEACON on CW from Dave Frantz, of WWRB, Manchester TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1964 monitoring. Alan Gale, England, reports on Sat Jan 12: ``Hi Glenn, Nothing to report about today's World of Radio broadcast on HLR's 9485 kHz frequency at 1530 UT; it wasn't heard here and neither was any of their outputunfortunately. It would certainly be interesting to know just where their skip is coming down as it must be passing right over me at the moment. Alan``
WOR 1964 confirmed UT Sunday January 13 at 0420 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+30, starting Cuba segment, about seven minutes in, so started almost on-time circa 0413.

** U S A. 5970, Jan 13 at 0650, WEWN Spanish is gone again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9000, Jan 13 at 1517, the open carrier I was hearing yesterday afternoon is still here, S9-S7. Art Delibert replies Jan 13 to my previous report:
``Glenn -- I'm noticing the same het [carrier] on 9 MHz at 1218 hours. Running the SAL12 antenna around the compass, it's strongest (S9) in the SE direction, but pretty good in just about every direction. Doesn't seem to be any propagation fading. Not much is making it through on 31 meters at the moment, except some of the big CRI xmtrs, mostly with my antenna pointed SW. So I'm thinking this thing on 9 MHz is located somewhere along the southern portion of the mid-Atlantic coast, like maybe the Norfolk area -- Art Delibert, N. Bethesda, MD`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15325.5-USB, Jan 13 at 1444, 2-way INTRUDERS in colloquial Spanish; shortly a similar conversation on much weaker 15430-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 1702 UT January 13
